The ending of Art at 50 Plus will create new beginnings in 2021 for 100 juried artists who participated in this exhibition. Several have indicated a desire to teach a workshop on the Islip Arts virtual education hub and others may be thinking about doing the same, either independently or in collaboration with someone else. We encourage you to start planning. After the reception, we will send out guidelines with particulars.

In the meantime, continue to spread the word about your work and this remarkable exhibition to your local media and outlets.

See you November 7th at 2pm

This is a stunning orchestration of hope and inspiration.

Brought together by Islip Arts Council and Islip Art Museum, and sponsored by AARP New York, Art at 50 Plus Virtual Exhibition entitled NEW BEGINNINGS the exhibition is a poignant and uplifting video, a unique work of art unto itself that captures 2020's historic moment in time.

The video is the antidote to anger, devastation and negativity that permeates every media outlet. Comprised of 100 New York State artists, ages 50-94, each of whom has found purpose to create a response to these ills.

Curator Holly Gordon

Videographer Waldo Cabrera

Curator Holly Gordon selected works and statements from nearly 600 artists to weave a cohesive exhibition of 100 juried artist's works, created in all media by artists 50-years-old and older. Videographer Waldo Cabrera then set the works to music and choreographed an extraordinary show.

A product of the times, Art at 50 Plus: New Beginnings - A Virtual Exhibition 2020 resonates with hope and inspiration. Be prepared to be wowed when you watch and hear the artist's voices. This production is one for the ages, meant to unite us all, the same way 2020 connected us all.

Although we live all over New York State one of the plusses of the virtual experience is that we are one click away.

The Internet shrinks our world, it brought Ward Hooper and Holly Gordon together six years ago. Now, their remarkable journey is documented in a book, Parallel Perspectives: The Brush/Lens Collaboration, that can be ordered on Amazon.
